Becoming a Script Writer

[Juggles]

I will be keeping track of what I do each day in scripting and how it has improved my Java knowledge.
I hope to one day be able to script flawless bots with many features added. 

 

*Remember I am starting with no prior Java knowledge. I am also a college student doing 16 credit hours this semester so my progress on here might be slow.*

 

Day 1 

• Downloaded IntelliJ and watched a few videos on how to write some scripts.
• Began copying some simple scripts to try and get down how to write them.

 

Day 2 

 

• I completed all of CodeAcademy < Java and know understand what basic codes mean like == , || , if else statements, booleans, ! , and many more.
• I was able to write a script that woodcuts regular trees but does not walk anywhere, it just stays on one tree and drops the logs.

 

Day 3 

 

• I downloaded the Learn Java app and have completed the first few assignments.
• I also ordered the book Head First Java on Amazon and it will be here tomorrow.
• I was able to expand my scripting abilities slightly by making my woodcutting bot walk to other trees.
• I was also able to make it chop any kind of tree in the game now like Willows and Oaks.
• I was able to also do DropAllExcept( *axes here*).
• I was able to change my code to also include fishing or mining.
• I was able to get my script to walk to the bank and open the bank but I could not figure out how to deposit all Except.
• Left my woodcutting bot on all night.

​Day 4 

• My fresh account has been botting woodcutting for 14 hours straight and is level 62. 
• Learned how to add paint, xp/hour, xp and total time ran. 
• Banking added to my scripts
• GUI and Painter added

 

Day 5 

• GUI made via WindowsBuilderPro
• Improved woodcutting logic
• Cleaned up GUI; a lot cleaner now
• Head First Java book has arrived  
• Account reached 78 woodcutting in f2p suicide botting until banned. 

​

 

Day 6 

• Chapter of Head First Java read. A tad confusing and the end of the chapters problems were very tough. Will have to reread it to understand it better. 

 

 

Day 7 

• Script can now woodcut anywhere in Runescape.
• Supports all trees. 
• Some areas have banking
• Script code is a lot more clean now.
•  Paint has improved a lot

Day 8 

• Started a new project. Spent 4 hours but created a bot that buys and sells items to the general store and world hops flawlessly. 

 

• Just created two private scripts  Averaging over 200k/hour on both of them no requirements. 
• Working on adding anti ban to my woodcutter. 
• Trying to further the range of banking as it only can go to banks that are close to the tree. 

Day 12

• 6 scripts created
• 2 private ones sold
• Spider attacker with eating, teleporting, banking all supported.
• Private voids now understood
• Mastered If, Else and how to incorporate them into voids
• Paint knowledge+ GUI info improved. 

Day 14

• I have now created a total of 8 flawless scripts.
• I created a private Blast Furnace bot with multiple anti bans and have had it run for 28 hours straight with no ban and some breaks.
• Woodcutting script is uploading to SND.
• Creating a Cosmic runner and a private method of 500k/hour for a client that I cannot release as we speak.
• Private nature runner is also being created for a client. 
• Have spent around 4-5hours a day for the past 2 weeks scripting and I am finally understanding the knowledge of Java to a better extent. 
• Learned how to use Widgets appropriately.
• Trying to switch my scripting method to states now, it mostly consisted of Booleans but that is not beneficial to my knowledge. 

Day 21

• I can pretty much code anything now in RS. I have made combat scripts, multiple skills, mini games, and gold farming scripts. Over 15+ scripts created so far with 20+ hour proggies.

GUIs are really hard if you dont know much about Object Oriented Programming(OOP) yet

In the OOP section of Code Academy, I was very confused on what was occurring. I will go back tonight and try to look over what it was saying.

Its a pretty hard concept to grasp untill you have a strong foundation. Once you understand it, however, you will be hooked on programming.

If you find starting with GUI's tricky, I would recommend downloading WindowsBuilderPro for Eclipse (this is ideally the IDE you should of started with as a beginner but #IntelliJMasterRace ;) ) 

 

Hope that helps and good luck ^_^

I may switch to Eclipse to use the WIndowsBuilderPro. I've heard its very easy to handle to create a GUI.

Thanks you too!

Paint + GUI made.

Cannot get GUI to work though. Does not listen to the command I tell it to do. 

Any insight on this would be helpful.

I removed line 

if (!getInventory().isFull()) {
getGameObjects().closest("Oak").interact("Chop Down");

Because that made it only woodcut oaks but I am not sure how to incorporate the GUI into the script.

Sorry I didnt even realize that! I am trying to learn on one client before I transfer it to others. I deleted my pic :P 

But I got the GUI to work  

I am wondering how to add more options to my GUI

 

I have select a tree:

I want to add PowerChop:

and

Collect Nest:

Do I need to start by adding a new container or label?

Sounds like a button to me!
